Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony: climate "not healthy" for PlayStation Vita successor

ROBOTECHHEAVEN on 26 September 2015

@dernebel, what I said is completely accurate and you know that, nothing is wrong with what I said and if u disagree at least back up with something to counter act what I said instead of what u did. What u said comes off as someone who doesn't want anyone to say something bad about sony , which is what I read into your so called response.
also sony themselves, have said the vita is a accessory to the ps4, so how is that statement not backing up my claim, tell me that much?

Nope


arguments?

What do you mean when you say a "Vita phone"? A phone with buttons and Vita specs for dedicated gaming experiences?

like the XperiaPlay model but with VitaOS that supports also more apps



Why i left PC gaming

the reason the vita was not a success like sony wanted, is because sony themselves killed the system with poor 1st support and overpriced memory cards and system. Also poor ads and deals to get ppl to buy the system, all the issues with the vita remain soley on the shoulders of sony, its just that simple.
I myself love the vita , I own the system with over 75 games, but using the excuse they keep using for the poor received vita is the mobile market is severly flawed at its core and they know that themselves.
the Nintendo 3ds has sold over 55 million systems and when its done will come close to 70 million I wager, yes its a big gap from the Nintendo ds but its still a very healthy market with the so called mobile market that sony is blaming the fate of the vita on.


The combined DS and PSP generation was 230 million the 3DS and Vita will be lucky to hit 80 million.

So the handheld market has suffered a huge contraction and while Nintendo can leverage 26 years in the handheld market Sony can't.

Expecting any new handhelds from either is foolish smartphones are simply becoming to powerful for dedicated handhelds to make sense.

I love my Vita, one of my all time favorite systems. I hope it keeps getting support for years to come as still a remarkably powerful handheld.

I have a novel idea. Why don't you make another XPeria Play and actually...I don't know, SUPPORT IT THIS TIME?!

My point exactly. People are saying, oh why don't Sony just pull a Nintendo with their handhelds. Not to mention price subsidies in smartphones.

No gawd damned chance.

Shame but doesn't matter much for the Vita owners for the next few years, some great titles on the way for the device still and it's not lacking in the power department to pump them out at QHD resolutions too. Doesn't really require a hardware upgrade.

Then they spent to much on the design of it, if it needed to be sold at 250$ to make any profit.

Thats the thing to take away from this, portables cant be sold that expensive and still thrive.

 

Nintendo where smart, after 5 months of bad sales, they cut the price to 169$.

Well even at a relatively low price much of the mobile game console market is gone. DS and PSP were much more successful because smart phones weren't as relevant.

Sony has been in a place financially. They were in no positition to lose a fortune to get Vita off the ground. Also, as is Vita had little potential of success.
